Today’s lean community is heading in a great direction and positioned well to effect the change needed in the construction industry. But, what kind of builders will be received into these systems? Are they trained? Are they enabled?
The role of the Superintendent has largely been ignored for decades, if most of the last century. To prevent our projects, and the industry as a whole from drifting into failure, we need to double or even quadruple the amount of fundamental training available to the builders needed to run our lean systems and processes. This will take combining the wisdom of the past with the innovation of today.
The book Elevating Construction Superintendents is our start. With its principle based sections and step by step guide, we can develop and train a new generation of master builders that will implement lean and integrated systems at an accelerated rate.
In this webinar, I share my findings from 16 years of observation, research, and training. I have worked as a field engineer, in all levels of superintendent, including general superintendent, and ultimately ran projects as a field operations direction and project director. I will also share techniques we use at Elevate Construction to facilitate the Field Engineer and Superintendent Boot Camps, and to provide other remarkable training for our crucial field builders.
